Injuries not serious

A ramp employee at St. John’s International Airport was injured Monday night after he was apparently struck by a jet blast and thrown into a piece of airport equipment a source has told The Telegram.

Platoon chief Brian Tucker of the St. John’s Regional fire department could only confirm they responded to the airport for a workplace incident and that an employee received minor injuries but was unable to provide any more details.
